You will find the same write up on this hotel as the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo. The reason for this is because they share so many facilities. They share the same pools, beach, theatre, and in many cases restaurants. When facing the beach the rooms for the Lindo on left side of the pool and the rooms of the Maya are on the right side of the pool. Please be sure to look at the pictures of the Lindo becasue the pics of the facilities are that same for this resort.

Iberostar Resorts are extremely popular in the Riviera Maya. Nine months out of the year they are going to be completely full. Please book you trip at least 6 months in advance. These resorts are popular due to word of mouth. All Iberostar Resort with the word Paraiso in their name are on Paraiso Beach and are all in one complex. When you stay at Lindo you have share privileges at all the Iberostar Resorts except for the Grand Paraiso and the restricted areas of the Maya.

The difference between the Lindo and the Maya is mostly in the rooms. The rooms at the Maya are all Junior Suites. The décor of the Maya is a bit better than the Lindo. The bath tub in your room at the Lindo is a regular tub where at the Maya it is a jetted tub. The Maya has a huge lobby bar. This building can be seen from the entrance to the complex and is very impressive. The exterior is of a Mayan Pyramid and the interior has paintings and statues of Mayan Gods. The other difference is that the Maya has a very good French restaurant while the Lindo has a really good Italian Restaurant. The Lindo has a very elegant piano bar with a very nice cylinder shaped aquarium.

The draw of these two resorts is what separates them. Separating them is the best pools of any resort I have ever seen. They have a wave pool and lazy river. No other Resort in Mexico can say that. As far as I know the only other resort that has these items is the very expensive Atlantis in Paradise Island. The regular pool is enormous. It has fountains in some parts, waterfalls in others and a very spacious swim up bar. Also a feature of all Iberostar Resorts is they have a separate pool for water sports such as warer polo and volleyball.

The bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with an Iberostar Resort. The reason why they are so popular is because they are what people are looking for in every which way. They have clean rooms, friendly staff, huge free form pools, great beaches, a good all inclusive program, and some of the best entertainment staff in the industry.
